After the conversation with Tantai Chan.
Wang Yu completely took charge of the Law Enforcent Hall in Evil God Market. The Three Young Masters now often went together to Azure Concubine Pavilion, sotis bringing courtesans and courtesan queens back to the hall for enjoynt.
He turned a blind eye to all of it. Moreover, the four of them rarely spoke to each other, and their tis of activity were completely staggered.
This did not an that their relationship had grown distant. Rather, they were disguising themselves, performing for others to see, trying to convey that Wang Yu was rely a lucky fellow, cultivated only to be soone who handled trivial matters.
After all, the outside rumor was that he had used the Foundation Seizing Grand thod to achieve Foundation Establishnt, so his potential was limited, making him suitable only for such chores.
Thus, during the day, he led the enforcent team in Evil God Market. His arrogance and domineering style were exactly the sa as Zhuo Shouqing’s before. For any shop operating in Evil God Market, every month he would go in to cause trouble.
Only after all the law enforcers had been fed would he leave.
Fixed tis, fixed amounts.
If soone spoke disrespectfully, he directly captured them and threw them into the Law Enforcent Hall’s prison. Such people would never dream of coming out again. So were even devoured the mont they entered.
In just four months, Evil God Market was completely transford under his governance. Its spirit and vitality beca completely different.
In the past, Zhuo Shouqing rarely extorted protection fees in such a way. It wasted ti, and one could not collect too much from each shop. Otherwise, people would flee to other markets. Besides, there was still cultivation to attend to, and the pleasure of Azure Concubine Pavilion. Ti was already scarce.
But Wang Yu abandoned sleep.
In the morning, he wandered the streets with n at his side. On the surface, it looked as if because of the Foundation Seizing his motivation to cultivate was gone, and he could only patrol the streets, protect shops that had paid spirit stones, and look for amusent.
In reality, he was constantly comprehending Foundation Establishnt spell arts in his mind.
Especially Freezing Rain Technique. Although this art was low-grade, it could alter the natural environnt and create a battle condition extrely advantageous for him. He had to achieve perfection in it.
Other techniques such as Ice Wheel Technique, Cold Ice Sword Qi, Ice Coffin Seal, and other second-rank high-grade techniques and secret arts were also in his comprehension.
In the afternoon was ti for his true body to cultivate. The Idle Slot worked hard, but he himself could not slacken.
Evenings were even busier. Borrowing the power of Heaven’s timing, with the Heaven-Enlightening ditation Cushion as support, he cultivated the Ancient Soul Art.
Past midnight.
He also cultivated techniques such as Soul Shattering Finger, Heavenly Soul Qi, Ghost Crow Soul-Devouring Sound, Heart-Controlling Demonic Voice, and Wailing Soul-Cutting Blade, spanning both soul and sound paths.
All twelve hours of the day were completely utilized.
In the early half of the night, he frequently practiced musical instrunts. Flute, xiao, qin, and zither—he could play them all with ease. After all, with the Idle Slot, spending just a few days allowed him to master such pure knowledge.
After ten days or half a month, he could reach the peak of mortal artistry, gaining speed and a distinctive style that displayed skill to the utmost.
But in terms of emotion, it could only be said to be average.
Still, it was rare and beautiful music. At first, Zhuo Shouqing and the others enjoyed it. Even during bedplay, the wonderful notes accompanied them, making movents stronger.
But after hearing it too long, they grew tired, and had to activate soundproof restrictions.
Yet when Wang Yu perfected his technique and began infusing Ghost Crow Soul-Devouring Sound into the notes, the result was like a mourning wail. The cries of yin crows condensed from True Essence were noisy and unbearable, carrying terrifying effects that shook souls. Before midnight, the demonic sound penetrated even soundproof barriers, making them deeply resentful of Wang Yu for a long ti.
Sotis the heads of Azure Concubine Pavilion misunderstood the situation, which was a serious problem. Even Zuo Qiuming regretted letting Wang Yu stay in the Law Enforcent Hall.
This lasted for a full four months.
When he had entered those techniques one after another, he would select one or two important ones to focus on. For example, the secret art “Breathless Curse.” Wang Yu urgently needed it to replace the Night Concealnt Mantra.
Without a concealnt technique, he felt like walking without clothes, completely uneasy.
At the end of the sixth month of his tenure.
In his residence.
Sitting cross-legged on the Heaven-Enlightening ditation Cushion, Wang Yu opened his eyes with joy and muttered.
“No wonder this treasure can raise comprehension by thirty percent. In just four months, I have mastered so many inheritances.”
Although it remained shallow, barely enough to cast the spells, and in a dangerous battle where every second counted it was hard to apply, it still ant that Wang Yu had gained an initial grasp of them.
If he could maintain this montum, in five years, even without the Idle Slot’s help, he could achieve his predetermined goal.
One round of cultivation complete.
Wang Yu stepped out, leapt onto the roof, and gazed at the Moon.
Since beginning the second stage of Taiyin Nether Eye.
The lunar essence he drew each night was surging higher and higher. With the Ancient Soul Art that enhanced soul and expanded divine sense, the lunar essence changed from passive baptism to active absorption, lowering the difficulty of cultivation.
His divine sense power had more than doubled compared to when he first broke through. He could barely perform the second-stage illusion realm, Illusionary Moon Domain. His overall strength had completely advanced.
His true essence accumulation had also reached the thirty-drop node.
Everything was now on track.
“The next stage is to resolve the problem of alchemy.”
He pondered silently.
Now that he had acquired a qualification comparable to Dual Spiritual Roots, even if the pill was not of supre quality, he could perfectly refine it. His requirents for pill quality had lowered greatly.
But if he could take the best, he would still take the best. After all, every pill had its limit of consumption.
According to pill recipes, one high-grade Ice Spirit Pill could enhance an ice-attribute cultivation art by ten drops of True Essence, while a supre Ice Spirit Pill gave thirty drops, taking two years to refine.
The consumption limit was still around twelve pills. The sooner he obtained them, the sooner he could enjoy the benefits, and his cultivation speed would rise faster.
However, the materials were expensive. If he used contribution points to exchange, even with over one thousand points, he could not afford a single portion.
The only option was to take other routes and buy at high prices with spirit stones. The cost was massive. The best solution was, of course, to complete Cold Chi Alchemy Technique up to second-rank.
Thinking of this.
Wang Yu raised his hand and a fla of icy blue was born. It was the Cold Fla. Its color had deepened a lot, with the grayish white almost completely receding, leaving behind a splendid icy blue.
The Cold Fla had automatically advanced to second-rank with his breakthrough. For the next evolution, it would need the aid of a third-rank ice-attribute demon core.
However, his pill refining technique was stuck.
【Idle Slot 3: Cold Chi Alchemy Technique (Derivation in Progress)】
"Cold Chi Alchemy Technique (0/100): 32 session per day, Master in 15 years."
In the past, when he was still in Qi Refining, completing this technique to second-rank required as long as thirty years. Now it only needed half that ti. This was the fundantal change brought about by a higher realm.
The ti required was still too long. Last ti he had not managed to obtain a third-rank corpse arm. Otherwise, he could have made use of the Corpse Demon Secret Technique to advance his pill technique first.
Since he had not found anything strong enough to serve as a trump card, restoring this arm as soon as possible was the better choice. Remaining in this state for too long was not good for body or mind.
If it created a ntal obstacle, that would be troubleso.
Although the possibility was very low.
"I can only wait..."
Wang Yu felt helpless and had no good solution. Yet when you are powerless over sothing, sotis a friend's help cos like a rushing surprise.
That day.
The sunlight was just right. The warm winds of late spring and early sumr blew with a comforting touch. Wang Yu rarely yawned as drowsiness washed over him.
"Sir, Lord Wang... soone called Situ seeks an audience with you."
"Hmm—"
Wang Yu snapped awake, surprised.
"Invite him in."
The visitor was Situ Hong.
Other than that eting half a year ago, the two had no further contact. Yet today he ca bringing sothing that could solve Wang Yu’s problem.
"Senior Brother Wang, how have you been lately.
"This Law Enforcent Hall is truly grand. Even the residence here is so luxurious. It is not inferior to my miserly master’s cave dwelling."
Situ Hong looked around, praising repeatedly.
Indeed, this place was specially built by the three Young Masters of Spirit Reversal, designed purely for enjoynt. The landscaping was outstanding. Even soone like Wang Yu would occasionally feel the refined mood to enjoy music here.
"Enough of that, sit down."
"No, no. This ti I ca specifically to deliver sothing to Senior Brother Wang."
"Oh?"
Under Wang Yu’s curious gaze, Situ Hong’s expression grew solemn. He drew a jade vial from his robes, carefully placed it on the table, and said,
"Eight or nine years ago, when Senior Brother was at Spider Mountain, you entrusted to search for this treasure. I have found it."
Wang Yu’s eyes lit up.
"Yin Marrow Liquid?!"
"Exactly."
"Good."
Wang Yu picked it up and took a deep breath. There was no mistake. This was indeed the supre treasure for cultivating the Mysterious Yin Hand.
Years ago, he had relied on this treasure to master the second-rank high-grade Mysterious Yin Hand while still in mid Qi Refining. Its aid to the cultivation of this technique was clear.
Yin Marrow Liquid ford from the accumulation of countless dead Yin Spirits. Over long years, the fragnts of their souls condensed underground, but the terrain had to be an "extre yin land."
The Five Yin Peak specialized in the ghost path, raising tens of thousands of Yin Spirits.
Using geomantic sorcery, they arranged many extre yin lands specifically for ghost raising. Thus this treasure was indeed produced there in so amount. That was why Wang Yu had entrusted Situ Hong to acquire it.
Yet almost ten years passed without a single word of news.
Now it was delivered straight to his door.
As Wang Yu smiled, he understood. It must be the effect of the few supre-grade Nether Heart Pills he had given during their last eting. Otherwise, Situ Hong would not have bothered.
In human dealings, giving and receiving is the way. Without sending gifts, how could bonds be built.
In the past he owed Situ Hong a favor and had often needed his help. Now with a higher cultivation realm, it was Situ Hong who needed him.
Most likely it was again for supre-grade pills.
By reason, Wang Yu still owed him. If the man ca empty-handed and asked, Wang Yu would still give. But the relationship would vanish.
Obtaining Yin Marrow Liquid at Situ Hong’s level of cultivation was not easy. He must have paid quite a price. That could be accepted.
Having made his decision, Wang Yu calmly put away the vial. Then he brought out so of the supre-grade Cold Blood Pills he had refined in the past. He had consud many, refined many, and still had a little left.
As fellow cultivators of yin attribute, the Cold Blood Pills would also benefit Situ Hong.
Even before Wang Yu introduced them, Situ Hong’s face lit with joy as he picked up the pill vial. There were only three pills inside, but it was enough for him.
"Senior Brother Wang truly understands the human heart."
